I've got programmes that help me with the eye strain obviously - I've got my computer set up so that there is a gradual, adjusting tint on it. It helps with eye strain but it doesn't change the fact that my brain can't comprehend hand-eye with a computer screen very well.
I mean, being in a room with LED lights can make me pass out so it's not really something I can get used to. It's a neurological condition I got from my mother, and nothing to do with my eyes which I've had examined and they're perfectly fine other than a bit of near-sightedness.
It's not a matter of practice either - I've been drawing with regular tablets for such a long time I've had to just accept it's not gonna work for me. It gets in the way of playing videogames too - some games give me a headache after playing a while, like street fighter. The colours are too bright and my brain gets overwhelmed unless I adjust things.
I've used screen tablets before when I was younger, and I preferred them a lot more. We had some at school and they were very simplistic ones but I could draw on them more naturally because I didn't have to focus so hard to draw lines correctly - it didn't overwhelm my brain so much to draw.
It sucks to be held back from what I love to do by a stupid medical thing like this... Recently I got fatigued after drawing one tricky page and didn't have the energy to draw the second. There's only so much I can do really - there's medication for the headaches caused by the condition we have but in my mother's experience it knocks you unconscious so... treating it is a bit complicated.
